Cops use police station as butcher's in Nepal

Police officers in Nepal have been accused of using the station to run a butcher's shop.

The deputy superintendent of the Kathmandu police force stated that ten officers were currently being investigated, while the cop in charge has been transferred for "his failure to execute his police duties properly".

"Locals used to bring their goats and the police personnel helped them to slaughter them," he said.

"There was empty ground and easy availability of water in the police station. Goat meat was sold by locals from the police station area."

The accused cops have insisted that they were not making money from the side activity, and claimed that they were helping the community.

According to The Daily Telegraph, new police recruits are on a monthly salary of 9,000 rupees (£72 / $110).
